Harlyn Dive School Programme         

Boat Charter / RIB Dives. (Vessel - Pressure Seeker)

Dives from £25 per person, Full charter of RIB from £400 per day up to 10 divers 2 dives each-- RIB is a 8 Metre coded for 12 divers with a new 2011 250HP engine. It has full navigation and safety equipment, including plotter, sidescan sonar, 2 radios, AIS, magnetometer and oxygen kit. We normally run as 10 divers and 2 crew!  Max 6 divers if all on trimix.

Dive the North coast of Cornwall, wrecks, reefs, drifts. Dive sites around Newquay, Padstow, Port Isaac, Port Gaverne and South coast

Equipment rental available if diving with ourselves, £30 full kit for the day plus £8 per extra cylinder (part kit available please ask)

Air and Gas fills. Air £3,50 up to 232 bar   300bar plus £1     32% 12L - £7.50.   Oxygen £0.01 per litre.  Helium £0.025 per litre. (plus the air fill)

We have wrecks from very shallow i.e. 10m to very deep 80m, for example The Sphene at 22-30m usually with around 10m vis often 20 or more

It is usual to see various crabs, lobsters, conger eels, wrasse, Pollack, pouting, bass, tompots, whiting, sometimes a friendly seal,

Dolphins and Basking Sharks not uncommon

We do this job because we are keen (possibly obsessed) divers. We actually dive all these sites ourselves. If we have no bookings we are probably at sea diving or searching new sites.

Beginners welcome

Technical divers welcome

Guides/Dive masters available

Wildlife/Basking shark spotting etc

Although we do not plan too far ahead due to weather etc. we will take bookings and make it work around the weather. If we decide weather is too rough then a full refund is given. If enough people we may be able to offer alternatives such as diving from Fowey. As we often have a mix of deep and shallow divers we try to plan the day around the tides etc. to cater for all. For example a typical day is  -  Morning deep wreck - Early afternoon drift dive - Later afternoon shallow wreck.

Groups

Want to bring a group but worried about filling boat? Not a problem, just book as individuals and we will fill the remaining spaces.

Got a mixed group? Some want 50 metre wrecks others want 25 metres wrecks and some drifts. Got that covered as well.

RIB prices are relevant to mileage and number of people

If you are planning to go on a beach getaway with your family and friends, it is recommended to get a travel insurance. This ensures that you can spend your getaway with less worries and a feeling of security. One of the best travel insurance providers is MoneySupermarket. Here, you can choose which plan best suit your family's needs. If you want to go on a diving holiday, it would be wise to also enroll in a reputable diving school like the Harlyn Dive School.

Why Learn With Us?

We have very experienced instructors

We have 1st class equipment

We don't expect you to scramble up and down cliffs and beaches and swim miles for a mediocre dive, we simply take you by boat to a sheltered site with lots to see, you also gain extra experience, most divers who come to us from elsewhere have never dived from a boat

We will take you as deep as your qualification so its not all new to you when you dive in the future, often with a wreck dive if weather and conditions allow - What's the point in getting a 30 metre ticket but only having reached 20m?

If you are doing a speciality course it will be carried out from the boat, if for example you are doing Deep Diver we will take you to 37 - 40 metres- Safely

We include all books and packs as required even the DVD for Open Water divers
